Loaner car problems....

Does anybody know a MB dealer in the San Fernando Valley that doesn't have an age restriction on car loaners?? Keyes European now has an age restriction not letting me have the ability to get one(that sucks to them though 'cause I was going to get the fiance an E class) when I get my car serviced. And I thought all the age discrimanation would end when I turned 21!! Damn. On the plus side my service guy(who is awesome!) gave me like a 20% discount when I did my rear brakes and offered to have my BiXenons programmed w/no BS when I have them installed! Any ways any suggestions for MB service w/loaners and no age restriction is greatly appreciated.

I'm 20, at HOI their loaner dept will loan me the car, but they'll have to charge $20 bucks for it. That why I go with either my sister or my dad to get the loaner.

What's the age restriction at the dealership you go to?

no age ristriction at Fletcher Jones, Newport Beach, but if you are young they will keep recommending you to buy the extra insurance.. (I got tricked once 'coz that guy told me to sign at the place where I agree the extra insurance, I wasn't aware so I just signed it.. )

And mostly you won't get anything higher than the one you own.. C's wil get C's.. E's will get E's or C's.. etc..

I am 23 yrs old and the age restriction at Keyes is 25. It is weird though because when I was 21 I was getting loaners, and then just all of a sudden...It sucks!!

Enri...that's some straight up BS!
Go to either Auto Steigler on Ventura Blvd, Calabasas Motor Cars, or SilverStar in T.O.

I got a POS Volvo when I went to Calabasas...it was raining then and I had fun with it!

I seriously doubt that will change anything. They don't care about stuff like that.

Tell them you are old enough to buy the car and maybe many more so they better start treating you like someone who can buy a Mercedes. If they said my wife could not drive our loaner when we get one I would tell them they just lost a customer that planned on giving them repeat business.

My service advisor didn't wanna remove the "No Phone" message for me untill I told him that many people on MBworld.org forum had their's remove by their dealer.
